Golden Week, Mountemplefest 2010: Little did I know, but I was not on a mountain but a huge Ninja boner. I have never been the same since that day.
On the last day in April I started my journey of love, lust and platinum. Unfortunately it looks like all I’m going to get is mountains, temples, mountemples and maybe a horse or two since they’re all out of the things that I was looking for.
For the first day I was looking to go to 高野山 (Koyasan) but since I’m retarded I ended up at 御所市 (Gose city) where they have a tiny replica of a mountain, Mt Katsuragi (葛城山), intended to be used by small burrowing animals. I was already in the area so I decided I might as well play with the replica.
It was pretty far from the town center to the ropeway (2km or so) and since there’s approximately 1 bus per hour I decided I might as well walk; this was probably a good idea since I don’t get an opportunity to walk to places very often (and it showed). I took the ropeway up but I was scared the whole time, you never know when a fight will break out in those things.
Don’t ask what type of rope they use, you don’t want to know; trust me on this one.
There were some nice things at the top, but sadly I was a little too early for the majestic lustflower.
I found out that the residents of Gose are evil individuals that want to, and I quote, “Increase the suffering of all asses manyfold. For only then can the great reckoning come.” I think if it was up to them there wouldn’t be any seats on busses or trains.
Can you think of anything more evil than stealing benches? I can’t.
Actually, maybe I can think of something, not allowing people to kill non-human mammal they see is a crime in a league by itself. The horrors (like this) that have been wreaked on peoples by an uncaring government is almost too much to bear.
After spending some time looking at nothing much I made my way down the mountain just in thyme to take some pictures of ninjas fighting on top of a ropeway car. Alas, since they are ninjas they don’t show up in photographs due to their incredible speed. Let me say that it was a fierce battle with much guitar wailing.
